Thx guys, I dont often pay so much on a flip but I think I’ll be able to keep the loader and still make a little profit. The fel will also fit my opensided Lgt100 so Ive decided to put it on that one... but not until spring after I upgrade to a 16hp engine, the engine swap was already planned for this winter so this 165 came along at a perfect time.
The Lgt100 came home about 4 years ago with a crankcase full of water so it wasnt expected to run very well or very long but altho noisy its done well, I mowed with it one summer and tilled the garden twice a year, and pulled alot of trailers. Despite its ugly appearance its one of my favorite tractors so its gonna get a well deserved make over. I’ll post two pics, one from 4 yrs ago, and one from yesterday after I set it up on jack stands but before I took the wheels off. Originally the Lgt100s did not have lights so I added those and built an exhaust that runs out the rear past the right rear tire, and I changed the seat, otherwise its near factory originall.
After Jacobsen the Lgt series was built by Gilson before New Holland.
